i have been watching the wire for 30 years, so if i don,t go next week because i can,t afford it i,m not a real fan,get real there is a recession on, people have got better things to spend there money on like bills.the only reason me and my family are going now is because we have a family season ticket. otherwise we would not be going.stop being so arrogant it does not matter if you go and watch them live or listen to the results on teletext your still a fan. it all comes down to money and why waste your hard earned cash on a bunch of superstars who don,t give a toss.

Don't worry you've got celtic in 2 weeks

Well this a right snobbery battle of fans, [i'I'm going even if we play crap for the next 5 years which means i am the superior fan'[/i . Well congratulations, pick up your primrose and blue rosette at the office. Lets all turn up muttering to ourselves how bad things are whilst handing our cash over, after all it's the british way of doing things. Or do we voice our concerns and go further by keeping hold of our cash, as it is after all our disposable income we are using, set aside for entertainment purposes. If an individual decides that watching his/her team playing without commitment isn't enough for them to make time and pay the price, should we look down on them?

No! And how many times do I have to say it? It's not the not going that bothers me. It's up to the individual. It's the crowing about it as though it makes them morally superior.

I don't think anybody is attacking anyone for their choice of not going.

Quite the opposite in fact. Often 'we' get attacked for being martyrs or having our head in the sand.

Well it is an internet forum, without discussion it would be nothing. I'm sure the topic was started to vent some anger which he's decided to act upon and to see if anybody else felt the same and was considering the same action.

I'm not going. I've had enough and under no circumstances will I be stepping foot in the HJ again until there is a dramatic improvement in the attitude of the team.

And I'll stick with that decision until Thursday or Friday when I'll reluctantly venture to the shop for a ticket and by Sunday morning I will have convinced myself that things can only get better and it will start that afternoon.

well they can,t get any worse.got to start winning sometime,but for the live of me i don,t no when..

I honestly believed that it would start to get better before the leeds game and thought we were unlucky not to get something from that.

After listening to comments about yesterdays game, i'm beginning to have my doubts.

and why did`nt you go....listen im going on SUNDAY..but after 27 years of watching the wire i throw the towel in this is the worst team ive watched....they r taking the p or do you just not get my point....come back when you reach 20 years of age..sense will prevail

dude, he's about 60.

..

.well he does`nt act it...ive got a 2 year old that talks more sense than him

hey im coming to warrington next week i arnt going to see your fans fighting with each other am i because thats all your doing on hear your team is paying rubbish and your arguining with each other. get a grip lads its a sport the players will no there self they are playing ttttte.

Nah, don't worry about it. There'd still be all sorts of arguing on here even if we were winning!

haha theres always something to moan about int there

what the bet further on in the season a post will be made about you not winning good enough

early 20's i know him d

I'm with TANCW here.

Warrington playing crap, or playing in a lower league won't stop me watching the team I've supported all my life.

If others want to play the martyr and stop going, as if it's going to change anything, then stop threatening to do it, just do it. I remember a poster on here starting a farewell thread, that he was leaving the forum, how embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as him coming back and going back on his word.

The only thing that will stop me, and it's getting more likely by the season, is having to mix with some of the pondlife, turds, gobes, pots, dregs of society who also follow us who's only motivation seems to be if they can abuse and moan at the players more than their mates. I shake my head more at what's around me than what's on the field these days and that's saying something.

Oh for the days of 4500 at Wilderspool. We have done well to attract the families etc and extra fans, but jesus, we haven't half attracted extra s by the bucketful.

Keithcun lights the blue touchpaper and retreats....

It's like that trip to KNowsley Road innit? Every year I say I'm never going again, but every year I go because of 'what if....' !

I really wish that wasn't true.

Unfortunately I think my case is terminal, I think I will support Warrington no matter what happens

Sorry mate, I've edited your post to make it relevant to me.

I agree with the first bit. The way I sell it to myself is that I support the Warrington RLFC club and all that it has represented through the years, the fine players we have had grace the shirt, and the wonderful memories both on and off the field I have had. The current players are just temporary custodians of the shirt. On Saturday they let themselves and our club down. Anyway I supported Wire long before Briers, Monaghan, King, and god willing, will support long after they have left.


In relation to the second point, I didn't see many, if any, of the people you refer to in your post at Harlequins. Just simple working-class folk, frustrated at what they saw but committed enough to make a 400 mile round trip. In my opinion they were entitled to vent their spleen within reason.

I was one of the 4500 but I just don't get this club any more and I don't recognise it. I can't understand why the players don't have pride or the desire to play for our club.

I don't expect to win every week but I expect commitment; maybe we need to get back to signing the right type of players instead of falling for the 'former international' smokescreen.

Why retreat? He is bang on the button. I have feel out with the team on numerous occasions, I even refused to go after the Huddersfield debacle on the basis that as long as Van de Velde was here I wouldn't go. So I'm sat at home doing some work listening to the radio as we put Bradford through the ringer. Despite being a bit miffed at them the emotion of my team battering the pinnacle of SL had me beaming, after thirty minutes I was debating whether I would be able to get in.

That to me is what it is all about; an emotional attachment to your team. I applaud, criticise, cheer and call them fit to burn in the space of the same game. For somebody to say I am not going, effectively removing that emotional tie-in, leaves me rather confused.

As Keith has said, above we do seem to have attracted chav turds, not necessarily pondlife corner (which I am assuming is the eastern section of the South Stand), I stand near the 20m line in the west end and the amount of nuggets who are there not watching the game, talking beggars belief.
